Great poem. It’s crazy because I was just watching Michael Moore’s “Where to invade next” and one of the key points was how women in Iceland stood up to the government in 2008 and had demanded equal pay. Also the only successful bank during that time was women owned.

Lady G you have me smiling from ear to ear! You do wonders for my ego girrrllll! Thank you so much for your understated (haha) approval – wasn’t sure if you really liked it or not. LOL!!!!!
Take care my little ‘peacock’. Keep struttin’!

Marie, I’m glad to see you pay me a visit. I love this poem. It is so invigorating and powerful. “Sashay and move those dancing feet” I love the sound of that. I’ve been there you know but I like think that to sashay to the next step, you have to detox a lil’
We hold ourselves back sometimes. I agree that there is no need to lose ones femininity in the process. Have a lovely day!🌹

Chevvy! Lovely to see you here. Thank you for your encouraging and thoughtful words. I wrote this 8 years ago, and when I realised it would fit in with IWD, I thought I have to post it.
Have a lovely day too!🌹

An anthem of independence for women that does not require us to sacrifice our femininity. So many places on earth would benefit from this freedom song — not least our own society. Thank you for sharing it. ❤

Just stopping by to thank you for visiting our blog recently. I hope you’ll consider following us. I’m glad you stop by because I found your awesome block that we are not following. I hope you have a great weekend

Thank you Ginger. Your comment is much appreciated and it was a pleasure ‘caring’ for Truly. She is amazing and well-deserving. I had a look at your ‘about’ page and you can be sure I’ll be paying you another visit very soon! 🙂

I don’t know why, but reading this in the back of my mind I am hearing the Helen Reddy song, “I Am Woman”.
We still have a long way to go, especially now, I see this political atmosphere as a bit of a setback, but I am equally happy to see the resistance.

In the 70’s it was very popular and was an anthem of sorts for women’s rights.
She had a short lived variety show after that, she also hosted several episodes of The Midnight Special, which was a music show form the early 70’s, to the late 70’s.
I am not really a fan of hers, but it was impossible not to hear that song when I was a kid.
